Can Your Body Predict The Weather? My Head Can (Really!)

Anybody remember in Mean Girls, how Amanda Seyfried's character had the unusual talent of being able to predict the weather with her boobs? Sort of, anyway. ("My breasts can always tell when it's going to rain. Well... they can tell when it's raining.") It's a funny line, but seriously: are weather-predicting body parts real?

They are. Several different conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, sinusitis, thrombosis, and migraines, can act up when there's a sudden shift in barometric pressure--like during an oncoming storm. The pressure causes joints and blood vessels to swell, setting off painful symptoms.

I have weather-related migraines (and light-related, and too-much-sugar-related, and hormone-related... le sigh). The slow-but-sure throbbing in my head and behind my eyes always clue me in that there will be rain the next day. Yeah, I'd rather get caught offguard in a rainstorm than deal with a migraine.

Do you get weather-induced headaches--or can you feel oncoming weather changes in any part of your body?
